Last week, Brian Moore, a 25-year-old New York police officer, was shot in the face and killed while trying to question a vicious criminal thug. There will be no riots in New York City. That race pimp, Al Sharpton, will be silent and no one will try to burn New York City down. All we will do is mourn this fine young man who sought to protect us all, no matter the color of our skin. I’m giving this column space over to Allen Bernard West, an African-American political commentator, a former member of the United States House of Representatives, and retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel. He wrote this at the height of the Baltimore riots. It’s something for some of you to think about before you decide to vote for Bill de Blasio when he runs for Mayor or President.

THE DIRTY LITTLE SECRET NO ONE WANTS TO ADMIT ABOUT BALTIMORE

Written by Allen West on April 29, 2015

The population of Baltimore is 622,000 and 63 percent of its population is black. The mayor, state’s attorney, police chief and city council president are black, as is 48 percent of the police force. But as 36-year-old Robert Stokes says, “You look around and see unemployment. Filling out job applications and being turned down because of where you live and your demographic. It’s so much bigger than the police department.” Everyone wants to have an honest conversation about race, so let us

endeavor to do just that. Now, of course, when you speak the hard truth about race issues in America – and not just the liberal progressive talking points – and you’re white, you’ll be branded a racist. And if you’re black, well, y’all just watch the comments below and see the denigrating drivel. As posted by John Nolte, “Contrary to the emotional blackmail some leftists are attempting to peddle, Baltimore is not America’s problem or shame. That failed city is solely and completely a Democrat problem. “Like many failed cities, Detroit comes to mind, and every city besieged recently by rioting, Democrats and their union pals have had carte blanche to inflict their ideas and policies on Baltimore since 1967, the last time there was a Republican Mayor. In 2012, after four years of his own failed policies, President Obama won a whopping 87.4% of the Baltimore city vote. Democrats run the city of Baltimore, the unions, the schools, and, yes, the police force. Since 1969, there have only been only been two Republican governors of the State of Maryland. Elijah Cummings has represented

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Baltimore in the U.S. Congress for more than 30 years. “As I write this, despite his objectively disastrous reign, the Democrat-infested mainstream media is treating the Democrat like a local folk hero, not the obvious and glaring failure he really is. Every single member of the Baltimore city council is a Democrat. Liberalism and all the toxic government dependence and cronyism and union corruption and failed schools that comes along with it, has run amok in Baltimore for a half-century, and that is Baltimore’s problem. It is the free people of Baltimore who elect and then re-elect those who institute policies that have so spectacularly failed that once-great city. It is the free people of Baltimore who elected Mayor ‘Space-to-Destroy.’” Mr. Nolte is white and we all know the invectives which will be hurled his way — but he is absolutely correct. I was watching the news reports from Baltimore and hearing all the condemnations from some about being kept down and the lack of jobs, opportunity, good schools — then why do these blacks keep voting for the same people? And this isn’t a phenomenon isolated to Baltimore. Every single major urban center in America is run by Democrats — more specifically, liberal progressives, black or white. The morass that became Detroit. The killing fields of Chicago. The depravity of Washington, D.C. The shame of South Dallas. And yes, even the place that was once my home, Atlanta. Now, I remember the first black mayor of Atlanta, Maynard Jackson. That guy was a leader and even spoke at my high school Baccalaureate. But today, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed has done such a bang-up job that the Atlanta Braves are moving to Cobb County! Just do the assessment yourselves, who are the elected officials heading up the urban centers? And where does one find the most dire socioeconomic statistics? Yet we hear these rioters blame whites — well, they need to make sure they’re specifically blaming the correct whites — those on the left.

IN THE NEWS

Blacks have been herded into these inner city clusters, a new economic plantation and in this 50th year of President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society — well, the unintended, or maybe intended, consequences are deplorable. The truth is that it is a culture of dependency as promulgated by the race baiters and new plantation overseers of the inner city that has created what we’re seeing play out in Baltimore. There is where the blame lies, but there are very few who are willing to admit just that. Remember what ESPN sports commentator Stephen A. Smith said? He wished that for one voting cycle, the black community would vote Republican. Heck, they could do no worse — and look, even the people of the state of Maryland decided to try something different and elected a Republican governor. Who, when finally asked, immediately activated the National Guard to quell the violence and chaos which the Democrat Mayor of Baltimore failed to comprehend, and control. Perhaps what we’re witnessing in Baltimore is the pure definition of insanity — continuing to do the same thing and expect different results. Yes, the dirty little secret that no one wants to admit is that Baltimore, and so many other urban areas and inner city communities in America, are a reflection of the abject failure of liberal progressive socialist policies as advanced by the Democrat party. The preeminent question is whether or not those in Baltimore and other places will recognize who is truly responsible for their plight. Or will they continue to be manipulated and propagandized by the liberal progressive media and the poverty pimps like the one supposedly heading down from New York City. John Nolte’s piece was spot on and this is not about an American failure, it is about a Democrat failure. And ask yourself, who were the ones who developed the concept of urban economic empowerment zones — as opposed to the ones who have produced urban depraved enslavement zones.

No Parking For Public At Public Property By Kitty Merrill

It was a happy thing when, over a decade ago, the town spent $8.4 million in Community Preservation Fund money to buy 40 acres of dune and beach habitat now known as the South Flora Nature Preserve on the Napeague Stretch. Lately, though, few are smiling . . . at least until the end of this week. Tomorrow night the East Hampton Town Board is expected to consider a

resolution instituting “No Parking” on Dolphin Drive, which runs adjacent to the preserve. An affirmative vote on the proposal will make South Flora the first preserve bought with the people’s money that offers no access to the people. “No Parking” regulations will, however, preserve the peace of mind for neighbors of the site who have predicted dire safety and environmental consequences, should the town allow people to

park on Dolphin Drive to access the beach. There have already been legal consequences, since one resident is embroiled in a lawsuit against the town looking to undo its 2014 actions, and inactions. Trouble started last August, when “No Parking” signs along the preserve were removed and replaced with signs that allowed parking by town permit. Supervisor Larry Cantwell reported at the time that no one could find resolutions speaking to the parking

on Dolphin Drive, none instituting “No Parking” and none implementing parking with a town permit only. A hearing on the parking problem was held last October. Residents of Dolphin Drive, which runs along the western side of South Flora, claim parking has never been permitted on that side of the road. At the same hearing, a local fisherman asserted that he parked there for years with no problems. Neighbors complained of the impact allowing parking would have on their property values as well as the environmentally-sensitive preserve. The road is too narrow to accommodate extra cars and people; they should park on the north side of Montauk Highway and walk across to get to the beach, neighbors offered. Speaking to the other side of the issue speakers pointed out the roads are no wider than those near other preserves where parking is provided. Citizens for Access Rights, The Eastern Long Island Chapter of Surfriders, and the town trustees also weighed in against prohibiting parking on Dolphin Drive, expressing concern the town could set a dangerous precedent by the de facto privatization of the South Flora beach.

Wait For The Plan, Or Not Finally, at the hearing last year, it was suggested the town wait until a management plan for the preserve was completed by the town’s Nature Preserve Committee before a determination was made. The committee completed the draft plan earlier this year. It recommends parking to provide access for the general public to the east of Dolphin Drive where there are no houses, closest to the beginning of access points to the beach. In a cover letter to the town board, Nature Preserve Committee chair Zachary Cohen wrote, “The two historical vehicular and pedestrian access points are retained, but not enlarged.” In submitting the plan, the committee also included a table showing all waterfront open space or nature preserves greater than 2.8-acres which, like South Flora, have trails running to the beach. “All of these preserves have parking for public access either on the preserve, alongside the preserve, or both,” Cohen’s letter states. Back during that hearing last year, board members agreed to review the management plan before making a decision after Jeremy Samuelson of the Concerned Citizens of Montauk questioned whether the town wasn’t Continued on Page 28.

Attention: Business and Homeowners You May be Eligible for a Septic System Rebate The State may be allocating up to $100 million dollars to the East End to upgrade residential septic systems. There are 81,000 aging cesspools on the East End that are leeching harmful chemicals into our bays and groundwater. New systems can cost anywhere between $5,000 and $10,000. Don’t be fooled by cesspool company gimmicks. Treating cesspools and drywells by aeration and acid methods to create temporary pathways for drainage, in fact drives pollutants downward that accelerates the failure of your drainage system as well as harms sensitive groundwater aquifers. With ESi, there may be no need to replace your septic system and still qualify for a rebate. Their time honored method will completely extract the accumulated greases and sediment by excavating a cavity and removing the pollutants down to clean native sand. ESi will then introduce new sand to create a filtering buffer and support structural integrity.

Thanks For Sharing -- Not By Kitty Merrill

Now, all they can share is misery, or maybe a ride to court. Eight defendants -- six individuals and two corporations -- operating in four houses face a total of 85 charges related to illegal share houses. They’re due in court on May 18. Last week, the East Hampton Town Ordinance Enforcement Department completed a twomonth investigation into share house violations. The probe focused on share house activity scheduled for this summer in an effort to address the anticipated quality of life complaints often associated with share houses, officials say.

By definition, the operation of a share house is the selling of shares or establishment of tenancy in which individuals obtain rights of occupancy in individual bedrooms, or rights to occupy all or part of the residence on particular days of the week, specified weekends or other similar terms, Betsy Bambrick, director of Ordinance Enforcement for East Hampton Town explained. “This type of illegal tenancy severely impacts neighbors and leads to complaints of environmental impact from litter, debris, and septic overload, as well as issues relative to excessive noise and vehicle parking,” she said.

The investigation took several months from planning to execution and is expected to have a dramatic effect on the locations addressed, according to Bambrick. “It is our intention to closely monitor these and other locations over the summer and take appropriate action should there be further violations of the Town Code.”

Garage = Cottage? In one case the investigators found that a two-car garage had been converted to a fully functional cottage for two people without the benefit of a building permit, subsequent inspections, or

certificate of occupancy. “Tackling illegal occupancy and excessive turnover in summer rentals remains a high priority for the Town of East Hampton,” said Supervisor Larry Cantwell. “I hope this latest action by our Code Enforcement Department will send a strong message to others who may feel tempted to violate our Town Code.” Aaron Monet is charged with 10 counts for prohibited use in a single-family residence: selling shares, excessive turnover, and partial occupancy at an abode located at 25 Old Montauk Highway, Amagansett. John Shub, as owner of the property, is charged similarly with 10 counts. In addition there are five counts of zoning charges for no Building Permit, no Certificate of Occupancy, and change of use relative to the conversion of a garage to a cottage. Allen Salkin is charged with 10 counts for prohibited use in a single-family residence: selling shares, excessive turnover, and partial occupancy at 55 Hand Lane, Amagansett. Nicholas Contos, as owner of the property, is similarly charged with 10 counts. Bernice Papia faces the same charges as Salkin, unlucky 10 for a property at 32 Atlantic Street in East Hampton. 23 Atlantic LLC, as owner of the property is charged similarly, also with 10 counts. Sophie Wilhelm also faces 10 counts related to the violations for a single-family residence located at 145 Neck Path in Springs. 145 Neck Path LLC, as owner of the property is charged similarly, also with 10 counts.

To Our East End Friends,

Courage Is What We Give To Each Other

April 18, 2015

Each year as we get ready for the annual 5K held to honor our sweet and beautiful daughter Katy and to bring about good things in her memory, particularly for children on the East End, we are always inspired and amazed by the willingness of others to extend themselves and help us to make the day a success. The same week of the 5K we stumbled on a quote from the late Fred Rogers, and spoke about how it resonated with us. Mr. Rogers said: “We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say “It’s not my child. Not my community, not my world, not my problem.” Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.” Well it certainly occurs to us the great fortune of living where we do. We can all be grateful, because we live in a community full of heroes. Every day in many ways, local community members reach out to others to lend a hand. Here are some of the people who helped us with our special day: A HUGE thank you to our race director, Nina Landi, and her husband John, our race course captain. They work their magic each year for us. Thank you to Mayor

Riverside Rediscovered By Emily Toy

Plans to revitalize the western section of Southampton Town (which includes the hamlets of Riverside, Flanders and Northampton) are moving forward, as a tentative action plan was presented to the town board last week. During the discussion, plans for a bustling, pedestrian-friendly gateway to the East End were mentioned, as was new zoning that would allow buildings with apartments above and storefronts below. Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst began the discussion by noting how, now in her eighth year at town hall, “one of the things that mattered most to me was really tangibly working with the community in

the Flanders/Riverside/Northampton part of town, and bringing about some revitalization and economic development that actually was noticeable and would begin to be transformative.” Throne-Holst mentioned the necessary involvement of the community members as an intricate and crucial part of moving this process forward. Recently, a new group named Riverside Rediscovered was formed. It consists of community members and runs parallel to the developer (Renaissance Downtowns) in order to give residents the opportunity to create a list of what they’d like to see replace empty storefronts, rundown homes, etc. The goal is to establish

Riverside Rediscovered as a forwardthinking community effort that is significant enough to be a valued partner in making major decisions regarding significant investments. Historically, the Flanders/Riverside/ Northampton area has been deemed by many to be a blighted community within the Town of Southampton. “This has been an overwhelming effort,” said Sean McLean, vice president of Renaissance Downtowns and Riverside resident. “This is a long time coming. There have been amazing sustainability efforts, some of the biggest on Long Island.” Renaissance Downtowns, based in Plainview, is the master developer in Riverside and specializes in community-centric approaches to revamp towns and hamlets. Last year they were selected by Southampton Town to revive the Riverside/Flanders/ Northampton area.

Renaissance’s proposed zoning plans would create a new hamlet center around a traffic circle, plus other districts for town homes, single-family houses and businesses. It also calls for open parkland on the Peconic River. Ac c o rd i n g t o M c L e an , t he Riverside area has been deemed the most economically-distressed hamlet in all of Suffolk County, noting that for over a half a century now, the area has “lost its identity.” Based on an analysis done by Renaissance Downtowns, Riverside holds the highest unemployment and poverty rates, and the lowest median income and high school graduation rate. McLean described the area as being caught in between other hamlets, adding it possesses nearly 1000 acres of preserved land, with four miles of waterfront land, with over 3000 residents. Town Planning and Development Administrator Kyle Collins was also on hand during the discussion. He reminded the board that the town received a grant of almost a quarter of a million dollars for the revitalization project. Now, according to Collins, the interview process for specific firms to develop the area is slated to begin. “We have 45 days to do our review, during which we will come up with revisions as we see fit, and while working with Renaissance Downtowns, we will come up with what will become our official draft for the proposal,” Collins said. He also anticipated hiring someone for development within the next month or so, commencing the State Environmental Quality Review Act process. An Environmental Information Statement could be made available as early as September/ October, Collins added. “We can codify a lot of your sustainable conditions,” McLean said, in terms of zoning and construction. “The community comes first, the environment comes first. It’s all about bettering the social aspect of the nature of Riverside, Northampton and Flanders. This is about respecting the rights of property owners.” Throne-Holst added, “We’re going to take this on the road,” stressing, if need be, it will be put before the county, and possibly even to Albany. “We’ve dealt with everything from how to bring some blighted properties into compliance, overcrowded housing, slumlords, and how we deal with trash,” she said. “We want to make sure we take advantage of all the governmental funding we can take advantage of for this, but that we also make sure that no stone is left unturned. We need to bring it to all these various entities, that only adds to the strength of this message.”

“Alarmed” By FAA Support By Kitty Merrill

The Federal Aviation Administration’s support of a lawsuit looking to keep East Hampton from implementing its newly-minted airport regulations is “unexpected and alarming,” according to supporters of the restrictions. Last week, the Quiet Skies Coalition reported “the so-called “Friends of East Hampton Airport” (FOEHA) have filed in federal court for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to prevent the Town of East Hampton from implementing duly adopted access restrictions to protect the public from aircraft noise this season, until the two suits the ‘Friends’ have filed against the Town and the FAA have been decided. Such measures were expected.” A release from QSC continues, dubbing the FAA’s decision to support the TRO ‘unexpected and alarming,’ since it suggests the agency’s unwillingness to uphold a settlement agreement with the Committee to Stop Airport Expansion. According to QSC, the settlement is the foundation for the town’s newly adopted airport access limits. The board voted earlier this month to set curfews and to limit aircraft to one trip per week. Supporters of the laws argue the settlement rolled back four FAA grant assurances and legally restored the town’s proprietary rights at the close of 2014 and is fundamental to the town’s plans to mitigate disturbing aircraft noise impacts for East End residents this season. Pro-aviation interests, and their attorneys argue the assurances can’t be rolled back.

FAA Reneging? The release from the coalition continues, “If the FAA is unwilling to defend its 1998 settlement agreement, it would not only be reneging on a federal court sanctioned contract, but it would violate assurances that the FAA itself gave to former Congressman Tim Bishop on the matter. Also, it would fly in the face of the request that Congressman Lee Zeldin recently made to the FAA that they reaffirm the Bishop assurance.” If the settlement is nullified, the town’s noise limits cannot be imposed, QSC Chair Kathleen Cunningham explained. “This is a big government agency reneging on its contract and bullying the little guy! The East Hampton Town Board has adopted policy to protect the health, welfare and safety of the residents of the Town of East Hampton, as well as residents all over the East End of Long Island, as is its right and responsibility. “The Board worked in a transparent and comprehensive way, which led

to the adoption of policy to protect the public from the adverse health, environmental and economic impacts of aircraft noise, while supporting a safely maintained, recreational airport. To go back to try to undo the foundation of these policies is the worst sort of big government interference. And, for whom? Some out of state helicopter companies that are unhappy that they cannot have 24/7/365 access to our community.” Former town councilman/airport liaison, CSAE and QSC member, and litigant Pat Trunzo commented, “The Friends are trying to compel the FAA to go back and negate the settlement now that the Town is rightfully and lawfully acting as airport proprietor

because they don’t want any limits on their ability to make planeloads of money at our expense.”

FAA Dissing Zeldin? Last month Zeldin wrote to the FAA calling upon the agency to stand by its assurances to the his predecessor Tim Bishop that it would not interfere with the town’s plans to reinstate their proprietary rights. In 2012, in a letter to thenCongressman Bishop, the FAA agreed that if the Town of East Hampton wished to remain FAA grant free, it could impose access restrictions as ensured by its legal right as airport proprietor, as of the date the applicable grant assurances expired,

31 December 2014, the cornerstone of the settlement contract they made with CSAE. Zeldin is the newly appointed Congressional Vice Chair of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Subcommittee on Aviation. In his March 2, 2015 letter to FAA Administrator Michael Huerta, the congressman stated, “Long Island’s East End is one of the nations’ most scenic destinations, and as we rapidly approach another high season for the tourism economy, the people of these communities urgently need a set of effective solutions that will mitigate excessive noise from helicopters approaching the region. My constituents cannot afford to have another season ruined by disruptive noise.” Aircraft noise impacts and emissions are serious and diverse and threaten not only human health, Continued on Page 35.

Rambling Conjecture To the EH Independent, I must say, I am more than a little hurt that Mr. Benjamin in his 4/22 letter did not include my name totally agreeing with and indeed reinforcing those incisive scientific reaffirmations of Mr. Pal and Mr. Zizelis. True, mine was short and to the point so perhaps Mr. Benjamin did not notice it since it was the antithesis of his lengthy and rambling conjecture he is wont to write replacing facts with opinion. Although it would be futile correcting the endless unrelated sarcasm and innuendos passed as wit, I did however find one perspective that was interesting.

EDITORIAL

Residents in a Springs neighborhood woke up in horror one morning last week to find a 160-foot pole looming over their homes. It was erected on the Springs Fire Department grounds that are nestled in a community of modest homes on small lots. It towers over some: indeed, should the pole be blown over, it could literally land on someone’s house. Residents of every community should take notice: municipalities, fire departments, school districts and the federal government are basically immune from most local zoning laws, In this case, the Springs FD first broached the subject of putting up a cellular tower on its property. The rationale was sketchy signals that sometimes impeded firefighters and the ambulance service from getting emergency calls. Of course, these towers are moneymakers, and that can’t be discounted either. Once erected space can be leased out to all kinds of secondary users from wireless phone carriers to private businesses. What galls the locals who live nearby is the lack of recent public discourse about the matter and the stealth erection of the pole with no advance warning. Apparently, there was one obscure public notice buried in a local paper last year asking for input. Neighbors are now considering a lawsuit to force the fire

It was the dissertation on the flatulence of cows, sheep, goats and chickens. A while back I read a letter in the Indy which said that the “I am not a scientist But . . . Climate Change deniers “should start thinking with their brains and not with their butts.” It now appears according to Mr. Benjamin that it is not man that is the cause of Climate Change, but rather emanates from the butts of beasts and birds. Facts are facts but butts continue to be butts. What a relief. It may at last be a scientific solution at hand to quiet Mr. Benjamin’s frightening farmland flatulence fatalism. Put a cork in it.

department to remove it. The whole situation is unfortunate. The Springs Fire Commissioners were obviously trying to avoid the public outcry that occurred nearly a decade earlier, and by doing so they short-circuited the process. Whether the department has the legal right to install it is secondary; what matters is the bad blood – the volunteer fire department needs public support to survive, and the public needs the fire department. Though it is true cell phone service is hit or miss in Springs, a review would reveal exactly how bad the service is, how high the monopole would have to be to improve service while minimizing the intrusion on neighbors, and how many other companies intend to piggyback on the pole, and pay for the privilege of doing so. It may be essential for the fire department to do its job, but that is secondary at this point. The secrecy that surrounded the installation, and the fact that it is indeed a terrible eyesore, is ample reason to take umbrage. The Springs Fire Department should admit as much and take the thing down until a voluntary review that includes public input is conducted, and other less intrusive solutions are thoroughly investigated. The fire commissioners haven’t exactly rushed to apologize to residents affected by this thing. That sort of flippancy must be maddening – make no mistake about it: this thing severely impacts property values and intrudes on the vistas of hundreds of people. It is an atrocity, plain and simple.

cannot conceivably understand let alone feel the anguish of living in the body of one sex with the mind and soul of the other. Nevertheless Jenner is not conflicted. He knows that inside, he is a she and will pursue the transition. We wish the best of luck on his journey. However, one thing I found rather enigmatic. He professes to be a Republican! Perhaps he has been too busy dealing with the momentous task ahead and not kept current on today’s Conservative Tea infused homophobic Republican Party. Or perhaps he would like to challenge the progress he has made and regress to their tried and proven scientific cure of, “Pray the Gay Away,” if for no other reason than confirm to himself that he had taken on the right path all along. He will join a group of Republican women as yet another second-class member of their chosen party futilely

denying the obvious. Ms. Jenner, it appears however, to have a leg up . . . or rather down since she not only enters as a female but one by way of transgender. We still wish her the best luck on her courageous course. She will need it. NICHOLAS ZIZELIS

Obituary Edward Callaghan

Noted arts and entertainment publicist Edward T. Callaghan, of Manhattan and Southampton, died at home of complications from cancer on April 25. He was 66 years old. Ed Callaghan, as he was generally known to press, clients and colleagues, had been a virtual fixture on the New York arts and entertainment scene – with a heavy emphasis on music and theatre – since the late-1970s. He began as publicity and marketing director of the now-defunct Entermedia Theater and continued to the present: first with his company BurnhamCallaghan Associates throughout the 1980s, in partnership with Jacqueline Burnham-Kurta; then several solo enterprises; and, for the past 15 years, with his life and business partner, John Wegorzewski, in Alchimia Public Relations & Marketing. It was primarily through this final entity that Callaghan also ventured into the areas of hospitality, fashion, fine art, and high-end luxury items. Throughout his career, Callaghan personified the ultimate in show biz style and substance. His reputation for providing excellent, detailed materials to press and media, and, savvy positioning and direction to clients, was legendar y. He represented hundreds of celebrities over the years, including Patti LaBelle, Rosie O’Donnell, and Loretta Devine. But he was best known for his impact on the New York club scene in the disco-driven 80s, representing The Limelight, The China Club, The Tunnel, and The Red Parrot, as well as the comedy club Catch a Rising Star. In addition, Callaghan’s

expertise launched the KaufmanAstoria Studios (one of the first to reinvigorate film and TV production in New York); created special event opportunities for Harry Winston Jewelers – particularly the company’s “dressing” of Academy Award contenders and presenters for several years; and brought (and kept) hundreds of Broadway, Off-Broadway, regional, national and touring theatrical productions on the boards. He most recently worked with numerous renowned fine artists, art galleries and art festivals. Edward Terrance Callaghan was born and raised in the Bronx, New York (November 30, 1948), later moved to New Jersey, then returned to Manhattan. He attended All Hallows in the Bronx for 12 years and completed his formal education with a BA in Liberal Arts from Iona College in New Rochelle, NY. His first career was in education. For several years in the early 1970s, he taught at Our Lady of Victory, a K-8 Catholic elementary school in the South Bronx, serving as a teacherof-all-subjects to 7th and 8th graders. He later was the co-founder of The CORE Community School (with the inimitable civil rights head of the Congress of Racial Equality, Roy Innis). The teacher-turnedpromoter often said that teaching taught him how to communicate with “uninterested audiences” and motivate them to investigate, then embrace, information and ideas they hadn’t previously considered. While this lesson helpfully informed his later P.R. work, Callaghan’s impact on his students was profound and lasting. Just last summer, a group of his “kids” (now most in their 50s) organized a barbecue party in honor of their mentor.

Edward T. Callaghan was predeceased by his parents, John and Theresa Callaghan and a younger brother, Gene. He is survived by his brother and sister-in-law John and MaryAnn Callaghan, sister and brother-in-law Terry

and John Lamberski, sister-in-law Rose Callaghan, many beloved nieces and nephews and greatnieces and nephews, as well as Mr. Wegorzewski and countless friends and colleagues who mourn his tooearly passing.

Continued from page 8. coming at the parking predicament “sideways.” With no public discussion of the management plan planned as of press time, but news that a resolution is on tap for tomorrow night, it looks like board members still are. “The question becomes, do we leave it [Dolphin Drive] with no regulations for the summer,” Supervisor Larry Cantwell explained. He said he’s not comfortable with that option. The management plan would have to go through a review process with the town board before it can be adopted, something Cantwell suggested would take too long (even though it was finished by the committee, and has been awaiting input by town officials since February.) Is tomorrow night’s resolution designed to appease those suing the town? Cantwell wouldn’t say. “The board will have to consider all the factors,” he said, offering that the town could implement “No Parking” for the summer, then see how it goes. When the property was first acquired, then-super visor Jay Schneiderman envisioned creating parking behind the Lobster Roll snack bar and a board walk to the beach. The idea never made it past his administration. More recently former supervisor Bill Wilkinson (2010-2013) and his deputy Councilwoman Theresa Quigley wanted to create a town public bathing beach with a 100-car beachside parking lot taking access from Dolphin Drive. Neighbors, members of the East End Dunes Residents Association, offered impassioned opposition to the idea. It left the building along with Wilky and his right hand gal.

Stamp Out Hunger By Kitty Merrill

Time to clean out the pantries or buy a little extra at the grocery store. On Saturday, letter carriers across the country will be collecting food for the nation’s largest food drive. Island Harvest announced that it has been chosen by the National Association of Letter Carriers and the U.S. Postal Service to be the Long Island region’s sole recipient of its “Stamp Out Hunger” Food Drive taking place on Long Island, and nationally, on

Saturday. The Springs Food Pantry and East Hampton Food Pantry are both member agencies. Island Harvest is Long Island’s largest hunger relief organization, feeding and supporting 316,000 Long Islanders annually, Here’s how it works. Set out nonperishable food by your mailboxes on Saturday; it which will then be picked up by their letter carriers while delivering the day’s mail. The letter carriers will then deliver their collected food to an Island Harvest

“Stamp Out Hunger” warehouse – where an army of volunteers will sort food to be distributed immediately to Island Harvest’s network of 570 member agencies. “While the letter carriers do all of the day’s heavy lifting, Stamp Out Hunger makes donating easy. All people have to do is leave their donation by their mailbox,” asserts Randi Shubin Dresner, Island Harvest’s president and CEO. “Our goal is for every family to donate something, and let their letter carriers do the rest. It’s that simple.” The harsh winter made it even more difficult for Long Island’s needy, making it even harder to put food

on the table, Dresner said. “This, coupled with the usual springtime need for food following the depletion of our holiday donations, makes this year’s Stamp Out Hunger food drive essential.” Since the inception of Stamp Out Hunger in 1992, over 1.3 billion pounds of food have been collected by letter carriers in the United States. Last year Long Islanders donated more than 326,000 pounds of food and this year, Island Harvest expects a similar amount to be collected by letter carriers on 2,219 carrier routes across Long Island. “The most trusted federal employees, U.S. Postal Service letter carriers are routinely involved in many community outreach initiatives, and often, form very close relationships with their customers,” said Walter Barton, President, NALC. “It is this connection they have within their communities that compels them to want to help make a difference.” Stamp Out Hunger has been taking place for 23 years. “We couldn’t be more pleased to be working with the NALC and Island Harvest to help make a difference on Long Island,” said Lorraine Castellano, District Manager, Long Island, U.S. Postal Service. “This year, we have 2,219 carrier routes that will be participating in the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive to benefit Island Harvest, an effort that will certainly touch many lives.” Since 1992, Island Harvest has grown to become the largest hunger relief organization in the region. By relying on volunteers, in-kind services, and donated food, more than .95 cents of every dollar donated to Island Harvest directly benefits Island Harvest’s robust programs and initiatives.

Oceanfront Sales Continue To Flourish

By Rick Murphy

Bob Dylan doesn’t live there anymore, but someone still loves Lily Pond Lane in East Hampton Village. Actually, it is one of the most exclusive addresses in the world. In fact, according to the quarterly Jason Schommer Report, #101 recently transferred for $55 million without ever hitting the open market. According to published reports the buyer was Scott Bommer and the parcel one of three adjacent properties that together cost $93.9 million. Part of the deal was a vacant parcel, #97, valued at $20 million. Schommer, from the Corcoran Group, reported that the first quarter of 2015 was a good one for the local real estate industry. Inventory dropped by 881 properties, and that’s not only a sign of robust sales. “I attribute it to sales but also fewer people putting their houses on the market,” Schommer said. The discount sellers are willing to accept also dropped from 12 percent to nine percent, another indication that demand is building. The brutal winter took its toll on overall sales number, according to

the report but “median sale prices increased across the region and the Hamptons average sale price rose as well.” In Bridgehampton another oceanfront estate accounted for the biggest sale of the quarter. A seven bedroom modern at 263 Surfside Drive changed hands for a neat $27.5 million, down from the original asking price of $29.5 million. Down the block, #233 sold for $17.8 million. Bayfront land is valuable, too! A five-bedroom four-bath 4,000 square foot house at 60 Forest Road in North Haven sold for $16.5 million in January – and that was the asking price. That kind of money may not get you oceanfront in Sagaponack but it gets you damn close — a block away, with nothing but reserved farmland between you and the sand. A 5256 square foot traditional at 51 Trees Lane valued at $16.9 million sold for $15.4 million. A gorgeous 10,000 square foot mansion at 616 Ox Pasture Road in Southampton transferred for $37 million. The property, on over three plush acres, is landscaped to perfection and the creek opens to

Shinnecock Bay and therefore the Atlantic. An oceanfront property at 390 Fowler Street in Southampton on Water Mill Pond sold for $32.5 million – $2.6 million more than the asking price. Down the road a bit, a vacant lot at #178 fetched $10.5 million. A vacant parcel on Old Towne Lane, #8, went for $11 million. In Water Mill, 167 Old Mill Road sold for $14 million and 179 David White’s Lane for $11 million. There is nothing quite like Meadow Lane in Southampton Village if you want to keep the riff raff out of the neighborhood. Number 1820 recently sold for $25 million. It’s 8000 square feet, was featured in the movie The Wolf Of

Wall Street and designed by Myron Goldfinger, according to published reports. The North Fork continues to attract buyers. The median sale price increased 13 percent compared to eight percent in The Hamptons. The average sale price increased 14 percent for the Hamptons and two percent on the North Fork. As aforesaid, the arctic-like winter conditions negatively impacted first quarter sales with declines in both market-wide sales volume and closed sales when compared to the first quarter of 2014. Hamptons sales volume declined six percent and North Fork sales were down 25 percent. Declining inventory continued for the third consecutive quarter and this quarter’s inventory level reached a 20-quarter low of 6531 units. Inventory declined 13 percent versus last year same time period.

SPORTS Mattituck Sweeps Red Devils To Remain Unbeaten INDEPENDENT

By Rick Murphy

And down the stretch they come . . . Counting a game scheduled for yesterday against Babylon, the Mattituck baseball team has five more games to make history by finishing the regular season undefeated. The Tuckers squeaked by Center Moriches Friday at home, 2-1, to run their record to 15-0, tops in League VIII. I t w a s n ’ t e a s y. M a r c o s Perivolaris, on the mound for the locals, battled his Center Moriches counterpart Nick Fiscina through seven innings before giving way to Chris Dwyer. In the bottom of the ninth Joe Tardif led off with a walk, stole second, and came around to score two batters later on a fielder’s choice. The Tuckers were behind 1-0

in the bottom of the sixth when Dan Franchi doubled home Tony Parlotto with the tying run. Perivolaris was brilliant, allowing only one hit, though he settled for a no decision. Dwyer picked up the win. A day earlier, playing at Center Moriches, the Tuckers had an easier time of it, doubling up the Red Devils 6-3. Jim Nish went the distance, surviving a shaky first inning. Mike Onufrak and Christian Figurniak were the hitting stars – Onufrak went 2-for-3 with two ribbies and Figurniak went 2-for-2 and scored three runs. In the series opener on April 28 the powerful Tuckers unloaded, drubbing Center Moriches 11-1 at home.

baseball team making headlines on the North Fork – Southold annihilated Stony Brook in a three game series last week and made some history of its own. The Settlers won the three games by a combined 38-0 score, probably the most lopsided series in memory. On April 27 playing on the road, the local won 20-0. Alex Poliwoda threw a three-hit shutout and Shane Johnson and Luke Hansen led a devastating offensive attack. Two days later, playing at home, Southold prevailed 8-0 behind Patrick McFarland. Johnson and Poliwoda were the hitting stars. On Thursday, playing at Stony Brook, the Settlers completed the sweep 8-0. Hansen hurled the shutout and Johnson, who had quite a week, lashed three more hits. Liam Walker added three RBI. Southold is 13-2 and enjoys a three-game lead over second place Pierson/Bridgehampton (10-5). The

Whalers lost to Port Jefferson 3-2 Thursday but bested that rival a day earlier 4-0 behind the pitching of Theo Burke. Several other local teams have their sights on the playoffs. In League IV Riverhead is 8-6, good for third place. In League VIII Southampton moved into third place with an 8-5 mark. Westhampton (12-3) knocked off Rocky Point Friday 7-4 to move into a tie for first place in League VI with Comsewogue. Nick Arpino went six strong innings and James Carbone, Dan McEboy and Nick Einstman combined for seven hits. A day earlier, playing at Rocky Point, the locals also prevailed, 5-3. Zack Downs earned the win with the help of Michael Pesce, who earned a save. Jeff Dalder and Jake Dierra both went 2 for 3. Visit NETPLAY for the upcoming schedules.

Waves Come Alive A month ago it was a toss-up whether or not the Riverhead Blue Waves would make the county softball playoffs. That was before the Lady Waves reeled off seven consecutive victories to move into third place in League II with a 10-6 record. They are getting better –the locals smashed Smithtown East 15-3 last Wednesday and 14-2 Friday. In their last four games the Waves have won by a combined score of 49-6. Other local softball teams angling for a playoff berth all compete in League VI: Hampton Bays is in 3rd place with an 8-3 mark followed by Mercy, 8-4 and Pierson/Bridgehampton, 6-5.

On The Water Shinnecock Looks like things are starting to improve significantly along with the weather. Schoolie bass have been found in both the Shinnecock and Quogue Canals and taking rubber baits including gulp. The Shinnecock Canal has seen quite a variety of fish make a showing including fluke, seabass, sun dials, bass and possibly a blue or a weakfish. Both bluefish and weaks have been caught in the pound traps this past week. Peconics The porgies should be up around Jessup’s in the Peconics along with the possibility of a weakfish. The creeks should be seeing some schoolie bass taking rubber baits. Ocean Beaches/Shinnecock Inlet The arrival of bluefish in the local pound traps say they should be lurking in the inlet too. Some schoolie bass have come from the sand beaches west of the inlet on rubber baits but if you want a better shot at a keeper, fresh chunk baits would be my recommendation. Capt.

Continued from page 17. including that of children’s ability to learn, as well as diminishing populations of endangered species whose nesting grounds are under the flyways of these craft, but the devaluation of cherished homes and open space, the coalition asserts. “As a third-party beneficiary of the settlement contract that has relied on the expiration of the key grant assurances, the East Hampton Town Board must support the CSAE in upholding that contract which is the very foundation of their aircraft noise policy,” said Cunningham. “This is about home rule and whether the duly elected officials of a community can manage a publicly owned facility as they see fit. The FAA has no business deciding what time and when our airport should be open and what kind of aircraft may access it. It also has no business reneging on a court-sanctioned contract. This is our town, this is our airport,” concluded Cunningham. Loren Riegelhaupt, spokesman for the FOEHA declined to comment on the QSC release. However, pro-aviation interests have debated whether the town has the authority to supercede the FAA.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News By Vincent Pica

Commodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard

Bringing It Home Safely – National Safe Boating Week 2015 National Safe Boating Week runs from May 16 to May 22 in 2015. U.S. Coast Guard Forces nation-wide and especially here “Out East” have a lot of plans to take and make safety a daily, year-long event. This column is about that.

National Safe Boating Week By 1958, boating “by the millions” rather than “by millionaires” was in full swing. What Coast Guard statistics showed was that the democratization of boating was

coming at a cost – and it wasn’t the 29-cents per gallon for the gasoline. It was accidents and fatalities. The U.S. Congress passed the Federal Boating Act and the National Safe Boating Week was born upon President Eisenhower’s signature. It was initially run as a committee – U.S. Coast Guard as chairman, with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, the Power Squadron and the Red Cross as its informal members. It still took some time for the

focused attention of the Coast Guard on boater safety to work its way through long habits and aged traditions. It wasn’t until 1973, when 1754 people died in boating accidents, that the trend started to reverse. Why? Why else – money, people and untiring focus!

Safety First – The Big Picture Safety isn’t something you put on like an overcoat. Safety, to be truly effective, needs to be part of your daily habit and part of that is education – dayin, day-out. U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliar y Division-18 is all about that. Division 18 is comprised of four flotillas and it is at the flotilla level where the work gets done. Division-18 supports three Coast Guard stations “Out East” – SFO Moriches, Station Shinnecock and Station Montauk.

IN THE NEWS

Get In the Picture! In 2015, the Wear It! campaign will continue, reminding boaters from coast to coast to put on their life jackets when on the water. The campaign is sponsored by the Coast Guard Auxiliary, the National Safe Boating Council, and many other boating organizations. There is nothing stopping marina owners, dive shop proprietors, camp counselors and concerned parents from getting and using those materials! The simple use of life jackets when engaging in any boating or paddle boat activity saves lives. Obeying and knowing the Navigation Rules or the nautical “Rules of the Road” through safe boating classes and not drinking alcohol or taking drugs while operating a boat, will save the lives of the boaters and those sharing the water with you. Wearing a life jacket can reduce the number of boaters who lose their lives by drowning each year by approximately 80 percent! It is a simple task that has the potential to reduce terrible loss in lives. The goal of National Safe Boating Week is to emphasize the year-round effort to promote safe boating. All who enjoy the waters of our beautiful state are urged to practice safe boating habits. Remember: Boat Smart. Boat Safe. Wear It. Kayak Races and TrawlerFests. At $5/gallon for fuel, we can expect the explosion in the use of paddle sports to continue and the Coast Guard’s Operation Paddle Smart is key to curtailing the injuries and even deaths that these pastimes are piling up statistically. Life Jacket Statistics World War II brought us the inflatable life jacket, as worn by sailors, pilots and submariners. The fabric, which looked like rubber, dried out easily. Talcum powder was used to keep the fabric pliable. Later on, military technology was applied to making consumer life jackets. These have developed through the years to the various styles we see today. But any life jacket, inflatable or otherwise, must be worn to work. Here are the stats: 16 people go in the water with lifejackets on and 15 come out. Sixteen people go in the water without life jackets on – and one comes out . . . Don’t be a statistic. BT W, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go directly to the D1SR Human Resources Department, which is in charge of new members matters, and we will help you “get in this thing . . . ”
